Note: I am not a fan of "Go fast, turn left" BUT I am a fan of MUSTANGS. So....

Last night, the Ford Mustang added another series victory to its 47-year racing resume with its first NASCAR-sanctioned race win as Carl Edwards took home the checkered flag in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Jack Roush, Owner of Roush Fenway Racing said, "This is great for Mustang. This being Mustang's first win. It was apt that Carl did it because he has been the best Carl and the best leader in the program for all the Ford drivers. It is good that it came together. I thought it would come earlier in the season but we are going to win a lot of races in these Mustangs this year. Jamie Allison told us that we needed to get a win this weekend and it worked out. Mustang belongs in stock car racing and hopefully it will be here for a long time."

Allison added, "We are all proud of Mustang first win in NASCAR Nationwide race. This victory by Carl Edwards puts his name into the record books among the many great drivers who have won in Mustangs since it debuted in 1964. It was always said Mustang was 'born to race,' and this victory, along with the victories Mustang has won in drag racing, sports car racing and rally racing over the years, just further proves that point."

When asked what it was like to put the Mustang in victory lane for the first time, Edwards said, "It is an honor to put Mustang in victory lane. I think all of us are proud of that and everyone at the shop should be proud too. Those cars look really cool. That was neat of Ford to let us drive the Mustang. When I walk into the garage and see my Fastenal Mustang it gets my blood going. It is cool to drive that race car. I drive a Mustang on the street and the weather has been nice the last couple of weeks in Missouri and I have been driving it. It is neat to be able to drive the same car into victory lane. It is cool."

First on race day indeed. That fact it happened in Texas, even better!
